Kachyamoru or Pulicherry

Another easy to make dish... But I have yet another easy way to make moru curry which I will share after the typical kerala way of making moru curry.

Ingredients:
· Buttermilk - 4 cups
· Ginger Sliced - 3/4 dsp
· Grated coconut - 4 dsp
· Shallots - 2
· Green chillies - 6
· Turmeric - 1 piece
· Garlic - 2 cloves
· Cummin seeds - 1/4 tsp
· Salt

Seasoning:
· Ghee or oil - 2 dsp
· Sliced shallots - 1 dsp
· Curry leaves - 1 sprig
· Fried and powdered fenugreek - 1/2 tsp
· Mustard seeds and fenugreek - 1/2 tsp each
· Dry chillies - 2
· Chilly powder - 1/4 tsp

Method:
Grind the coconut, shallots, garlic and cummin seeds together. Slit the green chillies and cook it along with the ginger in salt solution in which ground turmeric is mixed. When almost dry, remove from fire and mix the buttermilk. Heat the oil, splutter the mustard and fenugreek and the curry leaves, put shallots and broken dry chillies. When the onion is fried remove from fire, put the chilly powder and fenugreek powder. Add the ground coconut put it back on fire and saute the coconut for sometime. Pour buttermilk diluting the coconut paste and stir well. When the butter milk is heated remove from fire and stir till cool.

My easy way::
This is one dish which my husband is an expert.

1 thinly diced onion / 5 diced shalots
1 diced tomato
3 green chilles sliced
2 cup curd
1 sprig
Cummin seeds
Mustard
Chilly powder
Turmeric powder

Heat the oil, splutter the mustard and the curry leaves, put shallots/ onion, tomato and chillies. When the onion and tomato are properly cooked, put the chilly powder, turmeric powder and salt . Saute for sometime. Pour curd and stir well. When the curd is heated remove from fire and stir till cool.

You can put a little chicken / meat masala powder as well. It gives a nice taste;-)
Try it out!
